Gamla Stan, the Old Town of Stockholm, is a medieval masterpiece that will transport you back in time. Cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and narrow alleyways make this district a delightful place to explore. With charming cafes, small boutiques, and antique shops, Gamla Stan offers a unique and picturesque shopping experience. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Royal Palace, which is one of Europe's largest palaces and home to the Swedish Royal Family.
2. Discovering the Vasa Museum
The Vasa Museum is a must-visit attraction in Stockholm. It houses the only preserved 17th-century ship in the world, the Vasa. The warship sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged in 1961. The museum provides a fascinating insight into the history of the Vasa and offers a unique opportunity to see this impressive ship up close. The meticulously restored Vasa, with its intricately carved sculptures and detailed craftsmanship, is a testament to the glory of maritime Sweden.
3. Exploring the Djurgården Island
Djurgården Island is a green oasis in the heart of Stockholm, offering a tranquil retreat from the bustling city life. With its vast open spaces, lush parks, and beautiful waterfront, Djurgården is a paradise for nature lovers. Visit the Skansen Open-Air Museum, which showcases traditional Swedish architecture and culture, or explore the ABBA Museum, dedicated to the iconic Swedish pop group. Don't miss out on the enchanting Grona Lund amusement park, where you can experience thrilling rides and enjoy live performances.
4. Admiring the Stockholm City Hall
Stockholm City Hall is an architectural marvel that dominates the city skyline. With its majestic tower and elegant interiors, it exudes grandeur and sophistication. Take a guided tour to explore the magnificent Blue Hall, where the Nobel Banquet takes place, and visit the Golden Hall, adorned with intricate mosaic designs made of over 18 million tiles. The panoramic view of Stockholm from the City Hall tower is simply breathtaking, offering a captivating vista of the city's scenic beauty.
5. Cruising the Stockholm Archipelago
The Stockholm Archipelago consists of thousands of islands, islets, and skerries, creating a maritime wonderland. A cruise through the archipelago is an unforgettable experience, allowing you to witness the stunning natural beauty, serene waters, and charming coastal villages. Explore picturesque islands like Sandhamn, Vaxholm, and Utö, and enjoy activities such as swimming, fishing, and kayaking. The archipelago offers a serene escape from the city and a chance to be one with nature.
Stockholm is a city that will captivate your senses and leave you yearning for more. Its rich history, cultural heritage, and breathtaking landscapes make it a dream destination for travelers. Whether you choose to wander through Gamla Stan's narrow streets, marvel at the Vasa Museum's exquisite ship, or indulge in the tranquility of Djurgården Island, Stockholm has something to offer everyone.
So why wait? Join me on this remarkable journey to discover the magic of Stockholm. Pack your bags, embrace adventure, and embark on an unforgettable trip to one of the most fascinating cities in the world.

Stockholm is renowned for its Old Town, its National Museum and the Djurgarden.
But with so many different monuments, historical sights, restaurants, shops bars and nightlife to see, how can you make sure that you experience the best of everything Stockholm has to offer?
The 'My Top Five' series gives you the background and history on a city’s ‘must-see’ attractions, so that you can make the most of your trip. It also includes essential information, such as opening times and location.
However, each chapter gives you more than just the basics of the city's attractions, diving below the surface to lift the lid on some of the less well-known attractions, and helping you to discover the hidden Stockholm.
And of course, we don’t fill endless pages with hard-to-read maps and difficult-to-download photos; there are five chapters of text, one on each attraction, all written by our team of experienced travel writers.
This book was first published as the 'Postcards From' series.
